MRI FOREARM CONTRAST

Forearm MRI Scans require both magnets and injectable contrast to produce high-quality images of the different types of tissue located in the forearm. This can include real-time images of muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, nerves, blood supply, and other types of soft tissue that make up the forearm. The cost to perform a forearm MRI scan ranges from INR 8000 to INR 13000.

What is an MRI Forearm Contrast Scan?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique for providing images of certain structures within the human body using very strong magnets and radio waves. MRI is an external technique (not invasive), patients do not receive any injections or have anything inserted into their bodies. Before or during the scanning process, a radiologist can administer a special type of contrast agent (e.g. gadolinium) which enhances the ability of MR images to show blood vessels, swelling, tumors, or other kinds of abnormal growths. Because of this use of contrast agents, radiologists are usually able to provide accurate diagnoses of medical conditions.

The scan helps evaluate:

• Muscle injuries
• Tendon tears
• Ligament damage
• Bone infections
• Soft tissue Tumours
• Nerve compression
• Joint abnormalities
